Ingredients

1 cup Water

1 teaspoon Lemon juice

3 cups Bread flour

1 tablespoon Oil

1 teaspoon Salt

1 tablespoon Sugar

2 1/4 teaspoons Active dry yeast

1/4 cup Fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1/4 cup Fresh chives, finely chopped

2 tablespoons Garlic, finely minced

2 tablespoons Olive oil

Preparation

I got a bread machine for Christmas and have been making bread like crazy.

Thought I'd share a favorite. You can use this as a pizza crust, as well.

Machine.

Place ingredients in bread pan in order listed: Use dough setting. When setting is complete; remove dough from bread pan.

Punch down, roll into a ball and flatten into a 10 inch circle. Place on a baking sheet. Cover dough liberally with olive oil. Sprinkle fresh herbs and garlic over dough. Bake in a preheated 425 oven for 20-35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with pasta or cut into wedges and serve as an appetizer.

**I omitted the toppings and used it for a pizza crust.
